In Japan, they have replaced the impersonal and unhelpful Microsoft error messages with Haiku poetry messages. They're used to communicate a timeless message, often achieving a wistful, yearning and powerful insight through extreme brevity. Here are 16 actual error messages from Japan, enjoy.......
-------------------------------------------
The Web site you seek cannot be located, but countless more exist.
--------------------------------------------
Chaos reigns within. Reflect, repent, and reboot. Order shall return.
-----------------------------------------------
Program aborting: Close all that you have worked on. You ask far too much.
------------------------------------------------
Windows NT crashed. I am the Blue Screen of Death. No one hears your screams.
--------------------------------------------------
Yesterday it worked. Today it is not working. Windows is like that.
--------------------------------------------------
Your file was so big. It might be very useful. But, now it is gone.
-------------------------------------------
Stay the patient course. Of little worth is your ire. The network is
down.
--------------------------------------------------
A crash reduces your expensive computer to a simple stone.
--------------------------------------------------
Three things are certain: Death, taxes and lost data. Guess which has occurred.
--------------------------------------------------
You step in the stream, but the water has moved on. This page is not
here.
--------------------------------------------------
Out of memory. We wish to hold the whole sky, but we never will.
------------------------------------------------
Having been erased, the document you're seeking must now be retyped.
--------------------------------------------------
Serious error. All shortcuts have disappeared. Screen. Mind. Both are blank.
